a Preoperative and b 9 months postoperative lateral views of case I with anthropometric measures. Reference points consisted of the tip-defining point (C), the nasion (B) and the projection of C onto the nasion-alar line (A). Nasal length (NL) was measured as the distance between B and C in centimeters (cm) according to the Goode’s method. Nasal tip projection (NTP) was measured as the distance from A to C in cm. The naso-frontal angle (NFA) was measured as the angle in degrees (°) formed between the proximal nasal dorsum and the anterior surface of the forehead below the glabella. The columellar-facial angle (CFA) was measured as the angle between the line drawn from the anterior columella to the subnasale and the line perpendicular to the Frankfurt horizontal plane (blue horizontal line). Postoperative NTP and NL increased by 34.7 % and 21.1 %, respectively
